Our easy to use acid dye starter kit comes with all you need to get started on your hand-dyeing adventures!
Our acid dye starter kit is suitable for hand-dyeing all animal (protein) fibres, including wool, alpaca, cashmere, silk and nylon. Our Hue & Dye acid dyes require only a mild acid (we include citric acid in the kit) and heat to fix the colour to the fibre.

- 125g citric acid
- Accessory pack of gloves and measuring spoon
- Comprehensive hand-dyeing instruction booklet written by Debbie Tomkies
The acid dye starter kit contains enough citric acid to fix 1.25kg dry weight of animal-fibre goods. There is plenty of dye in the kit to dye 3kg of yarn or fibre to a medium shade. You can buy extra citric acid or individual dye pots to extend the fun!
